The main reason is that an average northern muslim is a fanatic compare to the ones in the south. Illiteracy and poverty are just relatively relevant because their many well educated and rich terrorists even their founder is not left out. Fanaticism isn't been spiritual,it means u see others within and outside ur religion subhumans unless they agree with ur own convictions and the best way to propagate ur convictions is thru fear factors. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Karlman:Illiteracy+unemployment=poverty and poverty leads to crime as one American senator says,the major course of terrorism is poverty as most of the suicide bombers and islamic fighter are being paid certain amount to carry out deadly attacks or can you give me one rich islamic country who are into terrorism,use malaysia,UAE,KUWAIT,Iran,Jordan,Bahrain,saudi arabia and other average islamic countries as an example |

I have been and stayed at least 2days in 18 of the 19 northern state yet I'm from Lagos and a Christian. I made bold to say that the problem is NOT illiteracy, fanaticm, poverty or Islam. I see this as well in most southwest state. My theory of the problem is that some foreign nations and their nationals with reputation in terrorism and guerrilla warfare partnering with some northern Nigeria elite finding a viable tool in the almajiri , chadian and Niger people coupled hospitable nature of Nigerian people The next question is why or what are the motives. The motive is to have unfettered access to the resources of Nigeria. Note the american govt says these group are internally funded by robbing banks, police and Nigeria armory. Skekau attested to this in one of his video saying he started with cutlass now he has several TANKS!! These people need Nigeria resources and may be lurking organizing in Chad Mali or Niger republic. The mountainous and topography makes the North east a viable ground. Why are they not in the other parts of Nigeria? It is because whatever they wanted in Nigeria can be accessed through this gateway Way out? Close road bothers with Chad and Niger republic to all machines human and animals with full scale assault on all known hideout cutting off all communication in the process 1 Like |

bettercreature: yeah some of those countries enjoy relative peace though not totally devoid of terrorist attacks and that is owing largely to those countries practicing moderate islam than being the result of how rich they are. for instance Osama bin ladin was a saudi citizen and so are some members OF ISIS. AND IRAN IS A MAJORITY SHIA MUSLIM country that are behind many terror organisations like HEZBOLLA, EGYPTS MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AND A POCKET OF OTHER MILITIA GROUP AROUND MIDDLE EAST. SO IN REALITY THERE IS NO ARAB NATION WITHOUT A ISLAMIC MILITIA UNDER ITS PAYROLL |

@OP, if you really want to know the the single cause of Boko Haram, I will tell you. Boko Haram or terrorism worldwide is caused by wrong interpretation of the Holy Quran. In history, there have been similar organisations who have succeeded in their quest to overthrow what they interpreted as old corrupt Islamic or secular regime to implement what they understood as pure and uncorrupted Islamic administration. Even Uthman Dan Fodio did same in Northern Nigeria. All Nations of middle East have their own version of BokoHaram. Fortunately, they have strong internal security to quell any insurrection. The worst target is Saudi Arabia. This is why they have American soldiers in Saudi. All Arabian rulers have their eyes in Saudi Kingdom, Iran, Iraq during Saddam Hussein ISIS, Al Queda during BinvLaden and other Kings are struggling to oust America from Saudi Arabia so that they could invade the holy Kingdom. That is why they hate USA. The problem with Boko Haram is that the world has passed those stage when their cause is tolerated. We are moving into another phase of human development and jihad is no longer fashionable otherwise they have a noble agenda. No time did they say they want to Islamise Nigeria. All they demanded for are 12 states of the north for full implementation of Sharia. I do not condemn them and Biafrans, Niger Delta and Oduduwa people should support them. As a Muslim, one desire to live in a society where the law of Allah is supreme. |

The common thread connecting all countries where terrorism has taken root is FAILURE OF GOVERNANCE. Where governments abdicate their responsibility of securing the security (both social and physical) of its people. Where the intelligence agencies are more interested in being errand boys for the party and government in power, than gathering intelligence concerning both external and internal threats, where customs and security agencies allow unfrettered smuggling of light and even heavy weaponry into the country.Where terrorist idealogy and activities is allowed to fester and grow until it becomes a threat. For example Boko Haram was allowed to grow without the government doing anything. Now a new terrorist ideology is being formed by a certain Kanu and government has not nipped it in its bud, until they start bombing and killing people. Terrorism is like cancer, it can be cut and treated in its budding stage but very difficult to eliminate once it has taken root and spread. |

For those who attribute terrorism to poverty or failure of govt should know that the money used in running terrorism for 4 weeks can feed the whole nation for 1 month. Yet terrorists do not make themselves rich. No one is to blame for insurrection. It's all about indoctrination and misinterpretation which is prevalent in all religions worldwide. Islam is different because it subsumes all aspects of man_ religious, political, cultural and even economic aspect of man. The deterrents always dream of an egalitarian society which most realists know is elusive. Most of terrorists leaders are well educated and very intelligent and rich. Bin Laden comes to mind. 2 Likes |

The reason why north is a breeding ground is because of the brand of Islam being practiced. Before the era of Uthman Dan Fodio, Hausa states_ Gobir, Zazzau, Kano, Rano and Kanuri state of Maiduguri where practising a moderate brand of Islam_ the such being practiced in Yoruba states today_. Dan Fodio believed that sharia was supreme as a sincere and we'll educated Islamic scholar. He started picking holes in the judicial and the administrative system in Gobir gvt. That led to the jihad that successfully rooted out a corrupted Islamic government and usher in the brand of Islam we all witness in today Northern Nigeria today. Successive Caliphate could not maintain Dan Fodio's standard due to westernization of the caliphate. The consequence is what we all know as Boko Haram 1 Like |
